Dog swallowed tampons

Question
This is very embarassing, but my 7-month, 78 pound Golden Retriever got into the bathroom trash can and swallowed 3 used tampons.  Will he just pass them or should I induce vomiting?  Thanks.

Answer
Hi Missy!

I wouldn't wait to see if the tampons pass, it's better to be safe than sorry. Get your dog to the veterinarian immediately. The tampons can cause a serious case of obstructed bowel syndrome.

I'd say it's time to get a new garbage pail for the bathroom, maybe on with a cover!

I hope this has been helpful and I wish you the best of luck!Please keep me posted and give that Golden Retriever tons of kisses for me!Sending wagging tails your way!
